[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m honestly shocked parents are locking things up in safes and the trunk of cars!  That 8s bananas.  If my child was breaking rules surrounding their phone and computer to the point where they were waking in the night and sneaking it- I’d just take it away completely.  If your kid isn’t trustworthy and mature enough to follow simple rules, they shouldn’t have a phone.  They truly don’t need it.  It’s not like you are taking food and water away from them.  They will be fine without it for a year or so or whenever you feel they are ready to be trusted and follow rules.[/quote]

You can't take away a school-issued laptop, for example.  Some people can't take away a watch either, for logistical reasons.  If the main issue is that a kid lacks impulse control and devices are problematic at night, interfering with sleep, then locking them up overnight is a reasonable solution.
